Elevate Management Expands to New York: A Strategic Move in Global Talent Representation

Elevate Management Expands to New York

Elevate Management, a talent agency based in Paris, has opened a new office in New York. This move follows the launch of a Miami sports-focused branch and an operation in London earlier this year.

Founded a decade ago, Elevate Management is co-led by Florent Lamy and Daniel Blanc. The agency uniquely represents U.S. talent in Europe using a model similar to U.S. management agencies.

The agency’s roster includes well-known talents like Megan Fox, Djimon Hounsou, Clara McGregor, Evangeline Lilly, Holt McCallany, Stephen Manas, and director James Foley.

Maddy Barket will lead the New York office. She was recently appointed as Head of Development. Barket, a New York City native, graduated from Wesleyan University with a degree in Philosophy. She joined Elevate in September with goals to connect U.S. talent with brands and drive success internationally.

Before joining Elevate, Barket held leadership positions in Wesleyan’s Philosophy Department and worked in retail and marketing.

Lamy and Blanc stated, “Maddy Barket embodies our vision. She is a young leader passionate about New York’s entertainment culture. Her energy and strategic skills help connect the U.S. and Europe. We are excited to collaborate with Maddy and grow our presence.”

Earlier this year, Elevate Management opened a digital department, signing TikTok influencer Avani Gregg as its first client. The Miami office is led by John Carlson, and Jessica Torres leads the London office.
